strings
I have emotional strings that tie me to Europe.
couples three together
Ideally, couples need three lives; one for him, one for her and one for them together
art best either films large movies offered parts people
I'm either offered window-dressing parts in large movies or little art films no one ever sees. People think the movies I end up doing are my real choices. I do the best things I'm offered.
needs people
I think the grandfather of the set is the director. He needs to have authority, to do what people want. A warm grandfather; he needs to know his job, to be open.
liked realized
What I realized on the 'Grasshopper' was that I wasn't sure that I liked being in every shot. It wasn't fun.
people
Some people have said that I haven't got the parts I should've got because of the way I look.
children
I always had cats and animals, so children were never really in my thoughts.
feels people
People make sequels a lot in Hollywood, and sometimes it feels like there's never an original thought.
I had no aspirations to be part of American cinema... I was really a Europe-based person, and those were the films I was inspired by.
painful walked wonderful
I went to see Oliver Stone's 'Heaven & Earth,' which I thought was a wonderful movie, but I walked out because I was so moved. It was too painful to watch.
character interesting want
I'd like to work more, but I don't just want to do kind of generic characters. I want to do interesting characters, and I'd like to be cast against type.
tired weight looks
My looks are changing obviously, so I fuss like any woman if I look tired or whatever, I put on weight and blah, blah. But some part of me is very relaxed with it all.
character work-out want
I consider myself a character actress, and that's working out. I'm getting chances to do things. I like the process - I don't want to pretend I'm something other than what I am.
people like-family groups
There's something about being with a group of people who become like family that must be needed in society.
